Someone from the Divine General's Mansion invited him, polite and indifferent. Chen Changsheng asked Luo Luo to stay where he was, and walked towards the carriage outside the alley. When he walked over, he found that the surroundings of the carriage were silent, and there was no one there. place.
The war horse in front of the carriage was majestic and tall, its mane was faintly red in the night, it was obviously not a mortal species, it was mixed with the blood of some kind of strange beast, it was extremely attractive, but Chen Changsheng didn't glance at it, Because what he wanted to see was the people in the car.
The man didn't get out of the car, but was still sitting in the carriage. There was also a red lantern on the other side of the carriage. The light shone into the window, and then passed through the side, reflecting his figure on the curtain, like a sword carved out Generally clear.
Chen Changsheng saluted the silhouette on the car window. The silhouette was clear, and the people in the car were also clear. The aura of power and terror was even clearer. Only then did he understand what he had felt at the Ivy Banquet twice before. Where did the pressure come from? One of the purposes of his participation in the Ivy Banquet was to see the other party in person. During the whole banquet, the other party's gaze never seemed to rest on him. It turned out that the other party had been watching him all the time.
"It's been a long time since you left Xining and came to Kyoto. Up to now, I haven't heard any rumors that I don't want to hear. It proves that you are a smart person and acted safely. I appreciate this."
Xu Shiji's voice came from the car window, calm and indifferent, "After entering the Orthodox Academy, you actually learned to take advantage of the situation, and I realized that you are smarter than I thought. I have to say that I admire you more and more. gone."
Chen Changsheng knew that he was telling the truth, not ridiculed or ridiculed, because he had no right to be ridiculed by Tangtang Dongyushen, let alone lie, but he didn't feel a little joy because he found that he still didn't like it. I like the taste of Xu Shiji.
The taste is not bitter, hot, sour and sweet, but a feeling that is difficult to explain. Xu Shiji's tone of voice to him at this time is also a kind of taste.
Calm and indifferent and alienated, he does not deliberately but has a natural condescension, and looks like an elder.
Chen Changsheng didn't like this very much. If it wasn't for the things involved in this marriage contract, if it wasn't for the humiliation and suppression, and if the other party really treated him like an elder, it would be fine.
Xu Shiji was silent for a while, he didn't know if it was because Chen Changsheng's silence was unexpected, or because he needed to think about something, the night wind was blowing the dim light of the lantern, and he asked, "Who is she? "
Yes, this is what he really cares about. Of course, the reason why he cares has nothing to do with the marriage certificate on Chen Changsheng. He doesn't care about Chen Changsheng's contact with any opposite sex, because he has never really regarded Chen Changsheng as a person. His daughter's fiancé.
From the moment Luoluo boarded the Ivy Banquet's Battle Stone Platform, the subordinates of the East Imperial General's Mansion began to secretly investigate her origin. to any news.
Xu Shiji was very aware of the abilities of his soldiers, so he was a little surprised.
That little girl was with Chen Changsheng, and this incident made him start to be a little wary after being surprised.
Chen Changsheng didn't answer his question because he felt that he didn't need to answer any questions from the other party.
The silhouette on the window became clearer and the lines became sharper. It should be Xu Shiji leaning against the window.
That power has also become more terrifying, and the pressure seems to have become a real existence.
Chen Changsheng felt a wave of disgust in his chest, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
"Actually, I have some regrets." Xu Shiji's emotionless voice came from the carriage.
"When you first entered the capital and no one knew about it, I should have killed you directly. Of course, I understand the principle that compassion does not command soldiers, but your division is old with my Xu residence after all, and some people miss you. Alive, that's why I let you live."
Chen Changsheng bowed his head and remained silent.
"Kyoto in midsummer is a place where it is easy to die... It is difficult to determine the flood season, but what is certain is that the rivers in the city of Kyoto will inevitably swell, and the water will be strong. Whether it is floating corpses or ashes, it is easy to be washed away. Walk."
Xu Shiji said indifferently through the car window.
"For example, the Tiandao Academy taught Mr. Cao that after tonight, he would either become a floating corpse on the bank of the Lanhe Plain thousands of miles away, or become food for the carp in Luoshui, but in short, no one would look at him again. to him."
Hearing these words, Chen Changsheng looked up at the car window in shock, wondering why did the teaching of the Heavenly Dao Academy die
"That little monster is a member of the Tianhai family after all... No matter how it will develop afterwards, if you teach him to make his own way, the empress will be very upset. If the empress is not happy, Lord Zhou Tong will be very angry, and Lord Zhou Tong will be angry... He will Worse than death."
"So, teach your lord to commit suicide tonight."
"I'm really sorry I didn't kill you back then, and it's inconvenient to do it now, but I must remind you that there are many ways to survive in this world that are more terrifying than death. I teach you to understand this truth, and I hope you can understand it too. .”
The lantern shook slightly, the light was dim, and more than a dozen subordinate generals emerged from the night, guarding the carriage and driving slowly away from the alley, heading east to the palace of the imperial general. The tall horse glanced at Chen before leaving. Changsheng glanced at him with extreme indifference.
In the carriage, Xu Shiji was silent, and there were countless dark fires in the depths of his eyes, which were not violent, but just chilling, because he found that some things were out of his control, although because of the letter from the Saintess Peak, he kept They didn't really control this matter, but now the situation seems to be getting weirder.
He was very clear about the cause and effect of Chen Changsheng's entry into the Orthodox Academy. He thought it had no deep meaning, but now it seems that, even if it was the case at first, there are people who are using this incident to make trouble. Those in the Orthodox Church who are still loyal to the Chen royal family Man, after being silent for so many years, seems to have finally discovered an opportunity that can be used, and is gradually preparing to surface, so what impact will this incident have on the East Imperial General's Mansion
This matter is too big, even if he is the most trusted general of the Holy Empress, he does not dare to get involved too deeply. He has only initially confirmed one thing. If Chen Changsheng is really dragged into that muddy water, then Let's not let anyone know about this engagement, at least keep it a secret for a few more days.
In a few days, the joint mission from various southern forces will arrive in Kyoto. Dozens of students who will participate in next year's imperial examination are also in this mission. It is possible to be delayed.
There is still a long time before next year's imperial examination. The southerners broke the convention and went to Kyoto a few months earlier. This matter has caused a lot of discussion and suspicion, but he knows very well that the Holy Empress welcomes the arrival of this mission. .
Only a few people in the whole mainland know that the reason why the southern missions came earlier this year is because they are planning to propose marriage on the Qixi Festival.
The reason why Xu Shiji knew about this was because the object of marriage proposal by the Southern Mission was his daughter.
He will not allow anyone or anything to spoil this marriage.
Chen Changsheng couldn't, that little girl with a mysterious background couldn't, no one else could.
As for the Orthodox Academy, the Heavenly Dao Academy, or the old royal family or the undercurrent in the capital, he didn't want to pay attention to any conspiracy or situation. If someone threatened this marriage, he would definitely not be afraid to kill people, even those who couldn't be killed.
Because he has a good daughter, as long as he doesn't betray his mother, it doesn't matter what he does.
Of course, if there is a better way to solve those unstable factors, such as Chen Changsheng and that little girl, that would be the best thing, then he must first determine some things, and then ask certain people to prepare some things.
"To the little orange orchard," he said.
The carriage of Dong Yushen General's Mansion turned slowly on the street, and drove towards the imperial palace along the quiet road, ignoring the strict night ban in Kyoto.
The small orange garden is a manor not far from the imperial palace. It has a small area and is planted with many orange trees, like a countryside.
There is a forest garden near the palace, planted with worthless orange trees, it is naturally not an ordinary person.
That is the residence of Miss Mo Yu.
…
…
Back at the Orthodox Academy, standing under the tree by the lake, thinking about the silhouette on the car window earlier, Chen Changsheng was in a bad mood. He wanted to shout at the lake, but he was afraid of startling the people in the herb garden on the other side of the courtyard wall. People want to swear a few swear words, but find that their master and senior brother have never been taught to beat them, so they don't know how to say it.
He turned around resentfully and walked towards the library. When passing through the woods by the lake, he saw an orange tree with many newborn small green fruits on its dense branches. He subconsciously reached out and picked one and put it in his mouth. The brows and eyes made by that sourness were all twisted together.
"Even you came to bully me?" He kicked the green orange tree, breathing heavily.
Small green oranges fell like raindrops, and there was a soft call from behind the tree.
Luoluo came out rubbing her little head, holding the food box in her right hand, covering her mouth with her left hand, her face was full of surprise, as if she saw something weird.
Chen Changsheng was also a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't you go back to sleep?"
Luoluo said: "Mama Li has prepared a supper, come over to eat with Mr.
Chen Changsheng looked at her expression and asked puzzledly, "Why are you surprised?"
Luoluo opened her eyes wide and said seriously, "I never thought that a character like Mr. would have such a childish side."
Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed, and walked towards the library.
A low and inaudible voice floated in the woods, stained by green oranges, somewhat sour and aggrieved.
"It's only a few months before I turn fifteen, so what if I'm naive..."
